BOCA RATON — The scene after the Owls' practice on Tuesday illustrated the bond and competitive nature between running backs Tony Moore and Jay Warren. Near the sideline, Moore worked on his quickness by testing his first few steps. Warren was just a few feet away from Moore. Warren held a football and went through drills that involved ducking and jumping over hurdles. The rest of the Owls were in the locker room. Moore and Warren didn't want to leave the field until the other finished working.

PLANTATION - American Heritage coach Mike Rumph is aware of Torrance Gibson's large social media presence, and he worries it might be creating an image that feeds existing doubts about Gibson's capacity to be a college quarterback. “When you're [recruiting] a quarterback, you want to know what's going on with him, how can he contain himself mentally,” Rumph said. “And nobody wants to take a chance on a quarterback who really is not mentally mature enough to be their quarterback.

Palm Beach Central junior quarterback Savion Harris is making the kind of adjustments that go well beyond what he sees on the field. The Broncos signalcaller is getting his first taste of varsity play. At the same time, he's learning how to adjust to a new environment after he and his family moved cross-country from Sacramento, Calif. earlier this summer. "To be honest with you, the kid has been through a lot," said Central coach Tino Ierulli. "He up and moved 3,500 miles and he's learning a new coaching style and a new offense.

PLANTATION – If Torrance Gibson doesn't crave attention, he certainly embraces it. At the Miami Dolphins' High School Media Day earlier this month, American Heritage's starting quarterback tried to impress a smattering of St. Thomas Aquinas players with a front-flip in the end zone. He also grabbed a microphone and, with a wide grin, interviewed teammate Tarvarus McFadden in the locker room. Sunday, when Gibson knew the entire nation would be watching, he rocked silver-and-black cleats embellished with red Nike swooshes and Ohio State's block 'O' on the tongues.

Brady Quinn's attempt to resurrect his NFL career didn't last long. On Tuesday, shortly before NFL teams had to trim their rosters to 75 players, the Miami Dolphins released Quinn, the quarterback tweeted. "It was short lived but I enjoyed every second. Thank you @MiamiDolphins for the opportunity to play the game I love again. Best of luck to all the players and coaches this season!" Quinn struggled mightily in practice since being signed by the Dolphins two weeks ago, including throwing several interceptions that were returned for touchdowns.

There were times during camp, Duke Johnson would just watch … and smile. As the quarterbacks battling for Miami's starting job took rep after rep, the Hurricanes star running back often stood behind Brad Kaaya and Jake Heaps and let the two sweat a little bit. Johnson felt comfortable letting them face pressure in practice, knowing in the back of his mind that when a starter was named and the Hurricanes opened their season at Louisville, he'd...

The Hurricanes have decided to give the highly-touted youngster a chance. When Miami opens its season next Monday night at Louisville, true freshman Brad Kaaya will be under center as the Hurricanes starting quarterback after he beat out Kansas transfer Jake Heaps for the job. Miami coach Al Golden made the announcement after the Hurricanes practiced on Sunday and hours after he'd told the quarterbacks - and only the quarterbacks - of his...

During the opening minutes of practice, nothing looked to be wrong. As Jake Heaps warmed up with the rest of Miami's quarterbacks ahead of Wednesday's afternoon workout, he made a few throws, his passes sailing smoothly into the end zone. The Kansas transfer was held out of the Hurricanes' scrimmage on Monday night to rest his arm in somewhat of a surprise move considering Heaps and true freshman Brad Kaaya have emerged as the front runners for the Hurricanes' starting job ahead of Miami's season opener at Louisville on Sept.

By now, Jake Rizzo knows the routine. Mention the St. Thomas Aquinas offense, and it's the same order every time. The Raiders have two FBS-bound running backs. They have four receivers who will end up at Football Bowl Subdivision programs. Even their offensive line has three players with FBS commitments. Rizzo is the last name to be mentioned, which in his mind, makes him the first one with something to prove. "I just think I've worked really hard and I've earned my spot," Rizzo said.
